<![CDATA[Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that can lead to unstable blood glucose levels and complications when not properly managed. This study aimed to describe the use of diabetic foot exercise as a nursing intervention to support blood glucose stability in a patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. A descriptive case study design was used with one female patient treated in the Tulip 2 Room at RSUD Sidoarjo. Data were collected through nursing assessment, observation, physical examination, laboratory records, and blood glucose measurements before and after the intervention. Diabetic foot exercise was given in three sessions, with each session lasting 15–30 minutes. The patient was guided to perform simple movements involving the feet and lower legs. The results showed a gradual reduction in blood glucose levels during the intervention period. Blood glucose decreased from 576 mg/dL before the first session to 475 mg/dL after the third session. Diabetic foot exercise may help support glucose control by increasing lower limb muscle activity, improving peripheral circulation, and encouraging self-care. This intervention is simple, low cost, and easy to apply in nursing care. However, it should be used together with medication, dietary management, and regular blood glucose monitoring]]>
